The Norsk Høstfest and the Scandinavian Heritage Park have established themselves as focal points of cultural and community pride. Together they make Minot the Scandinavian Center of the US. The Høstfest-Heritage Foundation represents our vision and ongoing effort to preserve our heritage and in the process help future generations understand and celebrate what makes them special.
